CBSSports.com baseball insider Jon Heyman reports the Rangers will "make one more run" at signing shortstop Elvis Andrus to a multiyear deal, but if a deal can't be reached, the team will likely trade him in "10 to 12 months."
The Rangers rejected all trade offers for Andrus this offseason, but a deal would open up shortstop for elite prospect Jurickson Profar, who may begin this season in the minors due to the Rangers' lack of a regular starting role for him. It remains possible Profar could break camp with the team as a utility player.
